0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

BRAUNEIS RECHTSANWÄLTE GMBH is a professional law firm based in Vienna, Austria, specializing in corporate and commercial law, litigation, and real estate legal services. The firm targets national and international companies, investors, developers, local authorities, law firms, and private individuals. It holds a reputable market position supported by rankings from Chambers Global and Legal 500, and features client testimonials that reinforce its credibility. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with excellent content quality and user experience. Technically, the website uses Apache server technology, Alpine.js for frontend interactivity, Algolia for search functionality, and Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, but performance metrics are not provided. Hosting appears to be with a1.net DNS and a dedicated IP address. SEO and navigation are well implemented. Security-wise, the site lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability. Other security best practices such as HSTS, DMARC, DNSSEC, and CAA records are missing. No explicit security or incident response policies are published. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented and GDPR compliant, indicating good privacy compliance. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but requires urgent security improvements, especially enabling HTTPS to protect user data and improve trust. Strategic recommendations include installing a valid SSL certificate, enabling security headers, and publishing security policies to enhance the security posture and compliance.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

BRAUNEIS RECHTSANWÄLTE operates as a medium-sized law firm with a focus on corporate, commercial, litigation, and real estate law. Its business model revolves around providing specialized legal advisory and representation services to a diverse clientele including companies, investors, and public entities. The firm leverages its market position through recognized rankings and client testimonials, which serve as competitive advantages. The website supports lead generation and client engagement through clear contact information and content showcasing expertise. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable legal ranking organizations, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators include recent partner appointments and active news updates. The firm maintains a professional digital presence but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance transparency to strengthen client trust further.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS encryption. This exposes visitors to potential data interception and undermines trust. The lack of HSTS, DMARC, DNSSEC, and CAA records further weakens domain and email security. However, no known SSL vulnerabilities or outdated protocols are detected, and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries are found in the frontend code. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Incident response and security policies are not publicly available, indicating a gap in security governance. Overall, the site requires immediate remediation of critical security issues to protect user data and comply with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce secure connections.
  3. Implement DMARC, SPF, and DKIM records to protect email domain from spoofing and phishing.
  4. Enable DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent DNS spoofing.
  5. Publish clear security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an Apache server with DNS managed by a1.net. It uses modern frontend technology Alpine.js for interactive UI components and Algolia for site search, indicating a modern and user-friendly design approach. Matomo analytics is used, reflecting a privacy-conscious analytics strategy. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. However, performance data is missing, and the site currently lacks HTTPS, which is a significant technical and security deficiency. The absence of SSL impacts user trust and search engine ranking. The site could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced security configurations to reduce technical risks and improve operational resilience.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
